this car is going to be amazing, apparently a mylasian company proton took on the project of putting the elise in the US and it will be hitting our coastline next year. its gonna weigh close to 1900lbs and have a slightly tuned version of the celica GTS motor (more midrange and 190 peak hp). oh yea 6 speed and a low maybe even flat 12 on the 1/4. top speed of 140 i dont know if thats governed or not. this car is looking mad sexy and im tiptoeing on the idea of making the switch

It is also going to be low $40s' for the price. That is alot of money to pay for a car that isnt much more useful than a go-cart.

I'd hit it if it was a MSE.

I dont see low 12's. More like low 13's. Seen the Sun International Elise? Its an Elise with an ITR driveline. Completely stock, it ran a 13.2, With some bolt ons, it ran a 12.9. And that car only weighed 1600 lbs.
